Legal Fortresses: Protecting IP & Securing Chain of Title

A single paperwork error can kill a distribution deal worth millions. Joseph Lanius is the legal mind behind major independent films, having navigated complex deals for titles premiering at Sundance, TIFF, and Lionsgate.

This session dives deep into the "Chain of Title"—the legal bedrock that distributors require before they pay a dime. Stop treating legal as an afterthought and start treating your film like a protected asset.

What You Will Learn:

• Ironclad Chain of Title: Ensuring you legally own every word, image, and sound in your film.
• Option Agreements: The professional standard for securing rights to books and life stories.
• Delivery Requirements: The checklist of legal documents every sales agent demands before representing you.
